I Won't Dance

I won't dance I won't dance I won't dance
I won't dance I won't dance

Think of what you're losing by constantly refusing to dance with me
You'd be the idol of France with me
And yet you stand there and shake your foolish head dramatically
While wait here so ecstatically
You just look and say emphatically

I won't dance don't ask me
I won't dance don't ask me
I won't dance mister with you
My heart won't let my feet do things they should do

You know what you're lovely
And so what you're lovely
And oh what you do to me
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor

When you dance you're charming and you're gentle
Specially when you do the continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For heaven rest us I'm not asbestos

And that's why I won't dance why should I
I won't dance how could I
I won't dance mercy beaucoup
I know that music leads the way to romance
So if I hold you in my arms I won't dance

I won't dance I won't dance I won't dance
I won't dance I won't dance
